Body languageRead the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer toeach of the questions from 44 to 50.The technology of the North American colonies did not differ strikingly from that of Europe, but in one respect, thecolonists enjoyed a great advantage. Especially by comparison with Britain, Americans had a wonderfully supply of wood.The first colonists did not, as many people imagine, find an entire continent covered by a climax forest. Even along theAtlantic seaboard, the forest was broken at many points. Nevertheless, all sorts of fine trees abounded, and through the earlycolonial period, those who pushed westward encountered new forests. By the end of the colonial era, the price of wood hadrisen slightly in eastern cities, but wood was still extremely abundant.The availability of wood brought advantages that have seldom been appreciated. Wood was a foundation of the economy.Houses and all manner of buildings were made of wood to a degree unknown in Britain. Secondly, wood was used as fuel forheating and cooking. Thirdly, it was used as the source of important industrial compounds, such as potash, an industrialalkali; charcoal, a componentof gunpowder; and tannic acid, used for tanning leather.The supply of wood conferred advantages but had some negative aspects as well. Iron at that time was produced by heatingiron ore with charcoal. Because Britain was so stripped of trees, she was unable to exploit her rich iron mines. But theAmerican colonies had both iron ore and wood; iron production was encouraged and became successful. However, whenBritain developed coke smelting, the Colonies did not follow suit because they had plenty of wood and besides, charcoal ironwas stronger than coke iron. Coke smelting led to technologic innovations and was linked to the emergence of the IndustrialRevolution. In the early nineteenth century, the former colonies lagged behind Britain in industrial development because theirsupply of wood led them to cling to charcoal iron.Question 44: What does the passage mainly discuss?A. The roots of the Industrial RevolutionB. The effects of an abundance of wood on the coloniesC. The advantages of using wood in the coloniesD.

It produced a stronger type of iron than wood smelting. B. It was less expensive than wood smelting.C. It stimulated the demand for wood.D. It led to advances in technology.Question 47: The word "abundant" in paragraph 3 is closest meaning to.....A. insufficientB. plentifulC. sufficientD. redundantQuestion 48: Which of the following is a common assumption about the forests of North America during the colonialperiod?A.

Especially by comparison with Britain, Americans had a wonderfully supply of wood.The first colonists did not, as many people imagine, find an entire continent covered by a climax forest. Even along theAtlantic seaboard, the forest was broken at many points. Nevertheless, all sorts of fine trees abounded, and through the earlycolonial period, those who pushed westward encountered new forests. By the end of the colonial era, the price of wood hadrisen slightly in eastern cities, but wood was still extremely abundant.The availability of wood brought advantages that have seldom been appreciated. Wood was a foundation of the economy.Houses and all manner of buildings were made of wood to a degree unknown in Britain. Secondly, wood was used as fuel forheating and cooking. Thirdly, it was used as the source of important industrial compounds, such as potash, an industrialalkali; charcoal, a componentof gunpowder; and tannic acid, used for tanning leather.The supply of wood conferred advantages but had some negative aspects as well. Iron at that time was produced by heatingiron ore with charcoal. Because Britain was so stripped of trees, she was unable to exploit her rich iron mines. But theAmerican colonies had both iron ore and wood; iron production was encouraged and became successful. However, whenBritain developed coke smelting, the Colonies did not follow suit because they had plenty of wood and besides, charcoal ironwas stronger than coke iron. Coke smelting led to technologic innovations and was linked to the emergence of the IndustrialRevolution. In the early nineteenth century, the former colonies lagged behind Britain in industrial development because theirsupply of wood led them to cling to charcoal iron.Question 24: The phrase “follow suit” in paragraph 4 means.......A. take a riskB. have the opportunityC. do the same thingD. make an attemptQuestion 25: Which of the following is a common assumption about the forests of North America during the colonialperiod?A.

Especially by comparison with Britain, Americans had a wonderfully supply of wood.The first colonists did not, as many people imagine, find an entire continent covered by a climax forest. Even along theAtlantic seaboard, the forest was broken at many points. Nevertheless, all sorts of fine trees abounded, and through the earlycolonial period, those who pushed westward encountered new forests. By the end of the colonial era, the price of wood hadrisen slightly in eastern cities, but wood was still extremely abundant.The availability of wood brought advantages that have seldom been appreciated. Wood was a foundation of the economy.Houses and all manner of buildings were made of wood to a degree unknown in Britain. Secondly, wood was used as fuel forheating and cooking. Thirdly, it was used as the source of important industrial compounds, such as potash, an industrialalkali; charcoal, a componentof gunpowder; and tannic acid, used for tanning leather.The supply of wood conferred advantages but had some negative aspects as well. Iron at that time was produced by heatingiron ore with charcoal. Because Britain was so stripped of trees, she was unable to exploit her rich iron mines. But theAmerican colonies had both iron ore and wood; iron production was encouraged and became successful. However, whenBritain developed coke smelting, the Colonies did not follow suit because they had plenty of wood and besides, charcoal ironwas stronger than coke iron. Coke smelting led to technologic innovations and was linked to the emergence of the IndustrialRevolution. In the early nineteenth century, the former colonies lagged behind Britain in industrial development because theirsupply of wood led them to cling to charcoal iron.Question 25: The word "abundant" in paragraph 3 is closest meaning to.....A. sufficientB. plentifulC. insufficientD. redundantQuestion 26: The phrase “follow suit” in paragraph 4 means.......A. have the opportunity B. take a riskC. do the same thingD. make an attemptQuestion 27: Which of the following is a common assumption about the forests of North America during the colonialperiod?A.

They were usually built from materials built from materials other than wood.B. They were generally built with imported materials.C. They were typically smaller than homes in North America.D.
